BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The following includes information that may be useful in understandingthe present invention(s). It is not an admission that any of theinformation provided herein is prior art, or material, to the presentlydescribed or claimed inventions, or that any publication or documentthat is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to the field of tooth brushesand more specifically relates to a toothbrush with thin and taperedbristles and ingredients, made from synthetic and natural fibers, sothat clean and comfortable brushing of the teeth and gums is enabled.The tongue cleaner can be included for cleaning of the tongue.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

A toothbrush is an oral hygiene instrument used to clean the teeth andgums that consists of a head of tightly clustered bristles mounted on ahandle, which facilitates the cleansing of hard-to-reach areas of themouth. Toothpaste, which often contains fluoride, is commonly used inconjunction with a toothbrush to increase the effectiveness of toothbrushing. Toothbrushes are available with different bristle textures,sizes and forms. Most dentists recommend using a toothbrush labeled“soft”, since hard bristled toothbrushes can damage tooth enamel andirritate the gums. Toothbrushes have usually been made from syntheticfibers since they were originally developed, although animal bristlesare still sometimes used. Toothbrushes may not be effective or efficientat tooth-care.

A tongue cleaner (also called a tongue scraper or tongue brush) is anoral hygiene device designed to clean the bacterial build-up, fooddebris, fungi, and dead cells from the surface of the tongue. Thebacteria and fungi that grow on the tongue are related to many commonoral care and general health problems. In addition, decaying bacteriaproduce volatile sulphur compounds on the rear of the tongue; thesemolecules account for 80 to 95 percent of all cases of halitosis (badbreath).

Various attempts have been made to solve the above-mentioned problemssuch as those found in U.S. Pat. No. 6,764,142 to Young-Jun Kwon; U.S.Pat. No. 7,448,693 to Sung-Wook Kwon; U.S. Pat. No. 6,041,467 to DonnaJ. Beals; U.S. Pat. No. 8,297,710 to Toyokazu Mori; U.S. Pat. No.5,533,227 Satoshi Hayashi; and U.S. Pat. No. 8,336,967 to Sung-HwanKwon. This prior art is representative of toothbrushes with bristles.None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or incombination, is seen to describe the invention as claimed.

Ideally, a toothbrush with thin and tapered bristles and withingredients and with tongue cleaner should be compact and convenient inuse, and yet, would operate reliably and be manufactured at a modestexpense. Thus, a need exists for a reliable a toothbrush with thin andtapered bristles and with ingredients made from synthetic and naturalfibers, so that clean and comfortable brushing of the teeth and gums isenabled and to avoid the above-mentioned problems. A tongue cleaner canbe included on the other side of the brush head.
